The main character is a small gray wolf with big ears, tousled fur and wide frightened eyes but a determined jaw, holding a glowing starry heart‑egg wrapped in a crown of thorns and pushing it into a circular black thorn-arch; a secondary character, Soot the small black bat with partially folded wings, perches on a thorny branch to the wolf’s right, worried but encouraging; another secondary figure, the Listener, is an ethereal elongated canine of smoke-gray fur and pale empty eyes, floating menacingly in the mist behind them. The scene is a narrow ravine at night with stone walls draped in thorny vines, damp ground and creeping white fog; the heart’s light pulses, thorns loosen, the mist and the smoky creature recoil, lit by the star’s glow and a pale moon in cool blues and grays with warm gold accents around the heart.
